Andy Mineo – Hear My Heart

Releases Video During International Week of the Deaf 2016 To Raise Awareness for #IWD2016

Hip Hop artist and lyrical powerhouse, Andy Mineo, releases the highly anticipated music video for “Hear My Heart,” the second single off his newest album Uncomfortable which debuted on the Billboard album charts as the #1 Independent, #3 Hip Hop and #10 Top 200 album in the country upon release via Reach Records.

“Hear My Heart” is a personal record for Mineo, a tribute to his big sister Grace who is deaf. “It’s just an honest record of me essentially apologizing to her for having never learned sign language growing up,” he explains openly during an interview with hip-hop culture icon and veteran Sway Calloway of Sirius XM’s Sway In The Morning. “We’re putting together a music video,” he continues, “I want to see sounds. So we’re really working on something creative and special for her because I really just want her to know that I love her and I’m sorry.”

Today the groundbreaking video for “Hear My Heart” is released to the public and can be viewed on Reach Records’ YouTube Channel at http://reach.cta.gs/04a. Mineo collaborated with Alex Medina and Director Kyle Dettman to create an innovative visual that is accessible to the Deaf and hard of hearing community. In the video, Andy Mineo signs his lyrical performance and sounds are brought to life through visually interesting 3D objects.

To advocate for the Deaf Community, Mineo released the video for International Week of the Deaf 2016, a week recognized globally the last week of September, to support and raise awareness for this year’s theme “With Sign Language, I Am Equal.”

Mineo first announced the heartfelt song with a sign-language video he called the “Speechless Announcement” which left curious fans wondering what the rapper was cooking up. The song premiered on Sirius XM’s Sway In The Morning and then online with the popular music and entertainment lifestyle site, VIBE.com, who described Andy Mineo as “an artist with a purpose” and a “progressive rapper.”

Andy Mineo recently announced he will be will kick off the Friends & Family Tour with Special Guest Social Club Misfits in Atlanta on October 27. For more information on Andy Mineo, visit AndyMineo.com and @andymineo on Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

It Needs To BE CED

Who is BIG CED?

Big Ced…. a good friend, a survivor , perseverant, pioneer in hip-hop and champion for all good music and exceptional artists.

CED:

Professional, reliable, open to various ideas, thinks outside the box, willing to give others opportunities. Identifies synergies between his passion/business and the passion/business of others. Works well with others.

Willing to help others, returns calls and messages. A person of integrity.

Big Ced is an enigma within the Hip Hop culture! As soon as you think you’ve got him figured out…you find out you don’t! His truthful and blunt personality is not a persona…it’s the real deal Holyfield! So, if you can’t hang with honesty or if you don’t understand why people jump up around him shouting “facts only!”…then you probably need to stay out of the way! Because Ced pulls no punches and takes zero prisoners. Which is why he is one of my favorite people in this community! He doesn’t deal in phony…and I appreciate him for that! If he says it…then it is so…period!

Big Ced is an industry trailblazer, one of the first to capture the Who’s Who of the entertainment industry before the dawn of social media.

A man who lives and loves music! A man who is dedicated to introducing to some and presenting to others the talents of artist, producers, and musicians. A man who works hard at networking, and building relationships with music industry professionals, both cooperate and creative. Someone who enjoys offering his gifts and talents for the love of music. Who is Big Ced?. it’s simple. One of the most highly respected men in the industry that I call Friend.

Big Ced is an influencer who always has something that needs to be said about like-minded folk. This compassionate, helpful individual is the industry’s best friend as he co-signs our projects, giving us additional platforms for exposure

When I think of Big Ced, what comes to mind is a well respected industry vet who has worked at huge media publications such as Black Enterprise, Vibe and The Source to name a few. A passionate and dedicated journalist who is an innovator that created a platform of his own, his website, The Industry Cosign, which he has held down for over 12 years. I am privileged and blessed to know him and I am inspired and motivated by him.
